I-Corps: Development of a Power Substation Blackbox

I-Corps项目更广泛的影响/商业潜力是变电站黑箱的发展，这将促进保险和公用事业企业之间的合作。能源控制中心框架已经从单片环境发展到网络化环境，使变电站系统能够可靠有效地与控制中心通信，以协调与电网相关的干扰。这些系统的计算平台逐渐采用标准化的通信协议和信息技术实践，这在本质上给关键网络引入了已有的软件漏洞。网络安全问题是一个众所周知的具有挑战性的问题，大学研究人员一直在研究网络物理关系与相关潜在风险之间的基本问题。拟议中的技术旨在实现保险市场上变电站综合风险概况的无缝交换。这个I-Corps项目是基于信息检索、异常检测框架和基于网络的电网应急分析的发展。拟议的技术是一种值得信赖的机制，允许变电站网络与保险市场以及联邦实体之间进行信息交换，以达到合规性目的。算法可以允许识别编程平台和软件集成。商业化潜力包括硬件/软件集成，以提取变电站网络中的异常，这允许在变电站内以及邻近变电站之间关联网络系统的属性。了解如何为变电站解决方案部署供应链安全对于发展与利益相关者社区的工作关系至关重要，在这些社区中，与行业合作伙伴的现有网络将得到加强。该奖项反映了美国国家科学基金会的法定使命，并通过使用基金会的知识价值和更广泛的影响审查标准进行评估，被认为值得支持。

The broader impact/commercial potential of this I-Corps project is the development of power substation blackbox that will foster enhanced collaboration between insurance and utility businesses. The energy control center framework has evolved from a monolithic to a networked environment, allowing substation systems to reliably and efficiently communicate with a control center for coordination of grid-related disturbances. The computing platform for these systems has gradually adopted standardized communication protocols and information technology practice, which inherently introduces existing software vulnerabilities into the critical network. Cybersecurity issues are a known challenging issue that has been studied by university researchers to investigate the fundamental issues between the cyberphysical relations and the associated potential risks. The proposed technology aims to allow a seamless exchange of aggregated risk profiles of substations in the insurance market. This I-Corps project is based on the development of information retrieval, anomaly detection frameworks, and cyber-based contingency analyses for power grids. The proposed technology is a trustworthy mechanism that will allow exchange of information between a substation network and insurance markets, as well as federal entities for compliance purposes. Algorithms may allow identification of a programming platform and software integration. The commercialization potential includes the hardware/software integration to extract anomalies across a substation network, which allows the attributes of the cybersystems to be correlated within a substation as well as between neighborhood substations. The understanding of how supply chain security is deployed for substation solutions is crucial in developing working relationships with stakeholder communities where the existing networks with industry partners will be strengthened.This award reflects NSF's statutory mission and has been deemed worthy of support through evaluation using the Foundation's intellectual merit and broader impacts review criteria.
